Incremental Backups is confusing me a lil

That is the purpose of an Incremental backup.
Lets say you change MyReport.doc every day, you would end up (after a year) with 52 versions of it (52 .tib files), instead of just 1, so you can go back to your document from, for example 2 weeks ago.
If you want just 1 tib file, make a task that does a full backup every night.
Or you can choose for a differential backup, its a nice choice to have in certain situations, depending on how you want to backup.

There are pros and cons of making Incrementals.
The pro: It requires less disk space to have a most recent backup.
The con: The incrementals form a chain of backups and if just one of those incrementals gets corrupted you will lose the ability to restore from a later incremental.

With large hard drives so cheap these days, I do only full backups.

Good point! Do you prefer saving an image or cloning?
